Fwiw, I've found Julia Child to be basically indestructible here, 6 months of sogginess and all. A terrible haircut of a hard prune now is all that's needed in my experience.

Seattle at least hit 55%...so like 25% less than most presidential elections. Off-year election turnout is so disheartening.

I swear that particular local handwringing happens in every election but Nov 2020, when like 70% voted early. Maybe it's just an unnecessarily dramatic way of driving turnout.

I recently smushed a wedge of leftover lasagna between two slices crusty bread and grilled the thing and it's a ridiculous add-on to an already perfect food.

And do you think that a homophone is a motif?
I get that it's sorta-kinda a pun, but the gorgeous dramatic queen logo sure makes a royal statement, not a weather statement.
